NEW ROSS. ~_ ~. WEXFORD, 5 O'CLOCK.-This town exhibits a scene of extraordinary gaiety. A splendid regatta covers the surface of the gentle Slaney, on both sides of its celebrated wooden bridge, while several small boats, decorated with various bright colours and de vices, contend with each other for prizes appointed by the Yacht Club of Wexford. In the midst of this amusement the meeting above alluded to took place, and was attended by many of the most independent and wealthy inhabitants of the town, with their Mayor in the chair. A great many country gentlemen also attended ; from all whose reports it appears it will be difficult to . make arrangements commensurate with the enthusiasm that prevails to entertain the Lord-Lieu tenant at a county dinner, on his arrival. No building in Wexford is deemed sufficiently large to contain the vast numbers that are signifying their desire to be present, at any expense that may be fixed upon. In this dilemma, the only thing that could be done this day was to appoint a Committee of inhabitants of the town, who are to regulate as to the number of pe..sons that can be accommodated at dinner, the price of the tickets, and the best mode of issuing these tickets, so as to afford every part of the county an op portunity of having from their vicinage some person admitted . to the dinner. it has also been suggested that a Committee of procession will be appointed, to escort his Excellency from the confines of the county to the bridge of Ferry Carrig, whence he will be in vited to sail down the river to this town, accompanied by all the naval powers of the town. It is very generally rumoured that no successor to the late Sir Francis Freeling, will be appointed till the whole of the New Post office arrangements are completed. Mr. Kean is playing in the Irish provinces with the greatest success. He has not performed the character of lon, as has been erroneously stated. Mr. and Mrs. Liston, Mrs. Mathews, the widow of the late Charles Mathews, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taylor, are all residiti ,, at a village called Pen, near Beaconsfield. Mr. Liston's only son, an officer in the army, is at present on a visit to his father and mother. On Saturday evening a grand entertainment was given by the Directors of the East India Company, at the Albion Tavern, to Lord Elphinstone, on his appointment as Governor of Madrs. Among the guests were Lord Mel bourne, Sir J. C. Hobhouse, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Palmerston, Lord Morpeth, Viscount Howick, Mr. Poulett Thomson, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of Argyle, Viscount Falkland, Lord Adolphus Fit z elarence, Lord F. Fitz clarence, Lord Hatherton, the Persian Princes, Lord Hill, the Earl of Lichfield, and a num ber of other distinguished persons. The usual loyal toasts having been given, the Chairman of the East India Company, Sir R. Camack, Bart., proposed the health of Lord Elphin stone, which wr.s warmly received, and his Lordship returned thanks. EX TRAoRDINARy POWER OF MEMORY.—On Fri day last Lord Lyndhurst sat as Judge of Appeals, as usual, and was listening to the third year's proceedings in what Lord Brougham happily termed " the Rhinoceros case of Attwood and Small." Mr. Sergeant Wilde, in replying for the appel lant, alluded to an affidavit made by a Mr. Morrison, who had descended into a mine to ascertain the probable value of the vein opened therein, with a view to the purchase of the property. Lord Lyndhurst reminded him that Philip Taylor had accom panied Morrison. Sergeant Wilde begged to correct the memory of the Noble and Learned Lord. Lord Lyndhurst begged to go for his notes. Sergeant Wilde meantime hunted for and found the original document. Lord Lyndhurst returned, and read from his notes between two and three pages of the deposition, which lie had merely taken a note of at the time, whilst it was read to him in Court, when the case was tried. It was adetitted, on a strict comparison of his Lordship's notes with Morrison'; affidavit, that Philip Taylor wag there, and that the Learned Lord, who had been only bored with the case of old, had a better recollection of the facts than the Learned Counsel who had studied it lately. The notes were only " short style," but such a perspicuous skeleton of the subject that Lord Lyndhurst, as he read on, was able to clothe them with words hat agreed with the affidavit verbatim, though years had elapsed ince he heard the original." " RATTLIN THE REEFER."—The popularity of this new story of the sea, edited by Captain Marryat, R. N., aulthor of " Peter Simple," &c., may be estimated by the fact, that the first edition was instantly sold off to the London book sellers alone. A new edition is announced to appear on Sa -turday. We congratulate the clever author upon the favour able reception of this admirable fiction, which is, in our opinion, .destined to become one of the most successful novels published for many years. A report reached Elgin on Thursday, of the death - I th.e it'e a Fraser, minister of Kirkliill, near Inverness, - which took: - plage under llrr entable c'rcumstances. Tuesday, in returning frpm the funeral o f one o f hi s parishioners, his horse ran off, am ; the Rev. G en tl erran was thrown from his gig with great and falli ng u p on hi s h ead, received violence, so much injury that he died almost instantaneously.—El g i n • cur , , , . (FRONI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) JULY 19.—" It is undoubtedly," wrote our dis:in guished countrymen Burke, " the business of Minis ters to consult the inclinations of the people : but they ought to take great care that they do not receive that inclination from the few persons who may happen to approach them. This maxim seems to be, at length, adopted by Earl Mulgrave, the first Viceroy who has given practical proof of hi s unwillingness to govern Ireland according to the inclination of " a few per s o ns ," or b y b. faction. Ever since his arrival amongst us, he has Leen ascertaining the resources, wants, and condition ny the country by personal observation. And though the Legislature has not yet assisted him much in pro viding for the numerous improvements suggested, not i fi any years can elapse before we shall have expe rienced, no matter who may be our rulers, the benefits of a new order of things. You have been already in formed of the pacific state of this country, unprece dented within the memory of living men. While the political horizon of Europe is overcast with clouds, and statesmen and potentates are struggling for ascen dancy, this little island, so long the sport of whirl wind and tempest, is serene and tranquil, enjoying a repose which rebellion itself, in legal form, cannot dis turb. To what is this owing ? To the promises of the Premier, arid the practices of the Lord Lieute nant. The former has constructed his Cabinet on the principle of " justice towards every part of his Ma jesty's dominions ;" and the latter has, by adhering to this principle, while making himself acquainted with the objects of his care and duty, diffused much hope and some happiness among the great body of the people. It is almost incredible how effective his Ex cellency's visits to remote parts of the kingdom have been in promoting present tranquillity. This borough and its vicinity were, about three years ago, the scene of great poverty and disorder among the humbler classes of the conounity. It is now the reverse ; there is comparative comfort and peace, arising out of the prospect of amelioration. At this moment, in deed, an unusual hilarity and excitement prevails, from the expectation of beholding in a week or two the representative of M a j es ty hi mse lf, in the ancient rest.- deuce of some of Earl Mulgrave's ancestors. No promise has yet been obtained ; but as his Excellency is expected in Waterford, and also at Castleborough, the seat of Lord Carew, in the county of Wexford, little doubt is entertained of his visiting New Ross in his progress. It is also rumoured that he will sojourn for some days with his old friend Thomas Boyce, of Bannow. Nothing could be more grateful to the friends of Ireland than an intercourse like this, be tween our Governors and the benefactors of Ireland. Mr. Boyce ranks more conspicuously among the latter than gentlemen of ample fortunes are wont to do in this country ; for his treasures and his talents are not exhausted in the voluptuousness of distant cities, while a struggling and most frequently a starving tenantry know the excesses of their landlord only by the im portunity and oppression of his public agents. Mr. Thomas Boyce inculcates patriotism by precept and example ; and is not more conspicuous for the admirable model of rural economy and happiness established among his tenantry in the far-famed Bannow, than for his inspiriting eloquence and energy, as often as the exigencies of his native land demand the aid of the truly liberal and independent. He is at this moment, I am told, encouraging, at Wexford, all the Reformers of the county to make such preparations for the re ception of their Viceroy as will be worthy of that portion of Ireland, which is more celebrated than any other in the history of the British connexion. Some of the most ancient families, descendants of the first English settlers, who never heretofore intermeddled in politics, are this day to meet the principal Reformers of this part of Ireland, for the purpose of organising the convivial and political demonstrations which the occasion seems to call for. Being on my way to Dublin, I shall proceed through Wexford, this even ing, and may probably be enabled to conclude this letter with a shOrt account of a meeting supposed to be the initiative of more important proceedings. ~</ Y. wv-ta4 Capital £1,000,000 in 100,000 Shares of £lO each. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1836. There is not a Reformer in the kingdom, who would not rejoice in the postponement of the Established Church Bill. The whole staple of the article is so decidedly Toryish, that nothing short of a complete re-modelling can render it satisfactory to the people. . _ . . In one sense, indeed, it may be said to be a mea sure of reform, because it makes some gross abuses a little less gross than they were before. It is just that lenient, scarcely skin-deep reform, which Bishops might have been supposed to inflict upon themselves, reserving 15,0001. out of 17,0001., and 10,0001. out of 12,0001. per annum—just sufficient to delude the public with a false show of reform, but of no real value—of no efficiency in distributing the masses of wealth monopolized by a few lazy pampered dignified drones, among the laborious and ill-requited por- tion of the clergy. This is a defect in the Bill which we have from the beginning held up to public reprobation, and which we shall never cease to de nounce until a remedy be applied. As to the Bishops of MANCHESTER and RIPON having seats in the House of Lords it is no doubt a bad thing ; but it does not increase the number of Bishops there, as these new ones only take the places of those who are extinguished by the union of Sees ; and when the time shall come for relieving the Right Rev. Fathers in GOD from the uncongenial load of political duties with which they are no.v so sorely weighed down, it will be as easy to deal with twenty six as with twenty-four. Ministers, we believe, are determined not to relin quish the measure, be the consequences what they may. They say, and they have some reason to say that it is not fair in those who have supported them in bringing the Bill to its present stage—to the very last stage—now to :.urn round, and not only desert but oppose them. We cannot acquit the Liberals in the House of Commons of negligence, in not giving a decided op. position to this Bill on its first introduction. There they were to blame, and we think they ought now to let it pass with all its imperfections, accepting it not as a final measure of Church Reform, but as a mere temporary stop-gap, rather than by their op position to run the risk of exposing the country —and not this country only, but others—to the incalculable evils of a Tory Government. We trust that what has occurred on this occasion will be a warning to the Reformers in Parliament to be more on the alert in future. Mr. O'CoNNELL has addressed another letter to the " People of Great Britain"—our readers will find it in another part of The Sun of this day—on the fruitful subject of the injustice of the Protestant tithe system in Ireland. In this letter, wherein almost every line is a fact, not a word being thrown away on de clamation, the Hon. and Learned Member reverts to the case of that wealthy Irish pluralist, Mr. LONG- FIELD, which, it may be remembered, we noticed some days since ; and shows by reference to the Reverend Gentleman's clerical emoluments, which he derives 'aim authentic sources, as also by the notorious fact hat he is a non-resident parson, having two Irish ivings, one of which he has scarcely ever visited, even for a day—Mr. O'CONNELL, we say, shows by this flagrant case of the Rev. Mr. LONGFIELD, 110 w absurd—how vexatious—how tyrannical is that system, which saddles the poorest country on earth with the support of the richest Church Establishment on earth. We entreat our readers' attention to the following extract from the Honourable and Learned Member's Address My Rector," says he, " the Rev. MOUNTEFORD LONGFIELD, is, as appears by Par liamentary Papers, incumbent of the parish of Desert serges, in the County of Cork, distant at least sixty miles from his benefice of Kilcrohane, in the County of Kerry. Desertserge s is a parish containing no less than 6,520 inhabitants ; but of these 6,098 are Ca. tholics. The Protestants are only 432.

The average attendance at his Church is but 80 ; that is, out of the 432 Protestants, only 80 go to the Church, leaving 352 who pray for themselves, or have some Dissenting clergyman to pray for them. He was incumbent of Desertserges for more than eleven years. He had for these eleven years 9601. per annum ; when, behold ! in the. year . 1809, another benefice, sixty miles off, is bestowed on him, worth on an average 4001. a year. Why did he get the second benefice ? How had he deserved it ? In no one way whatever. He had neither said nor done, nor written, nor practised any one thing to have himself turned into a pluralist; but he was the near re lation of a Lord, and his. connections were of wealth, station, and influence, .and therefore benefices are 'heaped on him ; and in addition to 9601. a year in the county of Cork, for which he gives little value, he is gifted with 4001. a year in the county of Kerry, for which he gives no value at all." The above is but one instance—and by no means the most aggravated one—of the monstrous injustice of the Lis!' tithe system—a system of which the Tories are so ena moured, and which has wound itself so strongly about the susceptible heart of STANLEY, that both are eager to perpetuate it at all hazards. Their zeal however will be fruitless, for the tithe system in Ire land is doomed, and down it must go. Attorneys, proctors, process-servers, and Exchequer writs, with their auxiliaries, the musket and the blunderbuss, will be able to render it no farther assistance, so inflexible are the Irish in their determination to bear with the nuisance no longer. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The state of affairs in Spain, and the preparations which are making for the cele bration of the " three glorious days" occupy the greater portion of their columns. In the Moniteur of Friday we find the following official communication : " In Gallicia the band of Lopez was surprised and defeated on the 9th instant. Lopez and several of his officers were taken and shot. On the 13th General Espartero came up with the rear-guard of the Carlist expedition on the other side of Buron ; he took from it 100 men and all the baggage of the expedition. Every passage is shut against the Carlists by the troops of Generals Latre and Manso, and by the Portuguese brigade." This document requires further illustration, which is afforded by a letter addressed by the Captain-General of Galicia to his Excellency the Minister of War. It bears date the 11th instant, from Lugo, and is as follows " Excellent Sir,—According to a communication which I received yesterday evening from the Judge of Arzua, the assassin chief Lopez has at last fallen. He bore the title of Major-General and Commandant of the province. Besides him there were several killed, and seventeen of his party re mained in our hands, with seven horses and other trophies. The surprise of this party was effected in San Pedro de Car dens, in the night of the Bth inst., by the column under the orders of the indefatigable Lieutenant-Colonel Don Nickolas de Lima, and as soon as he shall have returned, I will inform your Excellency circumstantially of all those who have dis tinguished themselves on an occasion of such transcendant im portance for Gallicia. The chief Silva, according to a com munication of the same Judge, has been killed by his own followers ; and a brother of his has been shot by this time, by the officer whom I have placed in command in the canton of " In the afternoon of the 7th inst. the faction of the chief Ballan was defeated, and dispersed in the neighbourhood of Forsagrada, by the column under the orders of Don Manuel Perez, with the loss of four killed and some wounded, while we lost a soldier of the third battalion of Castile killed, and another soldier and a horse wounded." This affair is, after all, of little consequence. LOPEZ, who styled himself a Field-Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of Galicia, was a mere robber, and had but few followers. The Captain-General, MANUEL DE LA TRE, whose account of this affair we have just given, further informs the War Minister that he had 2,000 men at Lugo ready to march against the Carlists at a moment's notice. The Cap tain-General of old Castile had given orders to the Baron DEL PUENTA DE SANTA MARIA, who Com mands a division of the Portuguese auxiliary legion, and was at Leon on the 10th, to march upon Villa franca del Bierzo, to watch the movements of the Carlists in that quarter. With respect to the Asturias expedition, the only account received in Madrid up to the evening of the 16th, is the following official despatch from General MA Nso, Captain-General of Old Castile, to the Mi nister of War. It bears date the 11th inst. : " Excellent Sir—Since the departure of General Espastero, which took place yesterday, I have not received any commu nication from him respecting the movement s o f th e enemy ; but a despatch r ece i ve d b y the civil governor of this place an nounces that the faction left Grado at twelve o'clock yesterday, and that the division of the General entered that place at three in the afternoon. The enemy marched in the direction of &los, so that he may proceed by Cangas de Tines to Laceana, or by the route of Ibias to Gallicia. Supposing the first route to be his object, I have determined to march to morrow in the direction of Pajares, in order to take a position on the road to Leon, for the purpose of impeding the progress of the enemy. I shall have with me a battalion of the regi ment of the Prince, three companies of Mercadades, and the squadrons of the Corps Francs, which are already posted on the high road in question. I shall leave here 300 men of the battalion of Zamora, who have come with the Colonel Losado, and twenty men of the squadron of Valladolid, that they may attack any faction which may make its appearance, or be ready for what may occur, in conjunction with the regiment of Pun tevendra, which forms the force of this province. The fac tion of the Cure of Folgueros, of which I spoke in my com munication of yesterday, has been reduced to five men, who will, I hope, soon be dispersed, in consequence of the acti vity of the Colonel, Don Bernardo Alvarez." The Carlists quitted Oviedo on the 7th, so that the delay made by General ESPARTERO allowed - them two clear days in advance of their pursuers. We have copied a letter from Oviedo, written by an officer in the QUEEN'S army, and published by a Morning Contem porary, which states that ESPARTERO was obliged to halt in consequence of the over-fatigue of his troops. During their occupation of Oviedo the Carlists levied money upon the inhabitants to the amount of fifteen thousand pounds in specie, beside other plunder which did not find its way to the common stock. General CORDOVA fills up his leisure hours .at Pampeluna by writing holyday addresses to his arm). One of these appears in the Madrid Gazette of the 12th, and is of a most terrific character. In fact if Dots CA RLOS does not studiously keep out of the way, CORDOVA will make mince-meat of him and all his army. As the gallant Commander-in-Chief is so little a favourite with his men, that conspiracies have been formed by them for quitting his standard, and putting themselves under the command of General MINA, he very gravely and coolly tells them— " that all those who attempt to foment the slightest disorder, under any pretext whatsoever, shall be put to death on the spot, be they few or many, who make the attempt ; and also in whatever town any dis turbance of the public peace occurs, all those who are found out of their houses, unless they be authorities or persons in whom is confided the maintenance of the laws." But the army laughs at CORDOVA and his addresses ; and unless he be shortly removed from the chief command, we expect to hear of nothing less than that whole regiments have passed over to swell the ranks of the Pretender. So much for Spanish affairs in the French Papers. With respect to France itself, considerable excitement prevails in the capital, in consequence of the number of arrests that have taken place during the last week, with a view to keep suspicious, persons out of the way on the 29th, when the KING will appear in public. The prosecution of the National, the Gazette de France, and the Bon Sens, for libels against the Go vernment, is also complained of as a most tyrannical stretch of power. PARIS, JULY 23. A morning paper contains the following article:— " A person who has been in high favour with the King of Bavaria has been at Paris for these two da) s. It is M. Von Klenze, Director of the department of Fine Arts at Munich, and the ostensible object of his jot.rney is to visit our Museums; but as M. Von Klenze, who hrs long resided at Paris, is very well acquainted with our Museums, it is supposed that he has a very different mission, and that to obtain at length the remainder of the Greek Loan, the King of Bavaria has more hopes from the address of his Confidant, than in official diplomatic notes. M. Von Klenze and`the Bavarian banker appointed to receive the loan, have been perfectly well re ceived by M. Thiers ; they have even dined with the Mini ster in company with M. Jannison the Bavarian• Envoy ; and if King Otho persists in refusing to return to Greece without money, we may expect to see a further sum paid on account, that is to say, to see the money of the tax-payers thrown into a bottomless pit, to support an interest diametrically opposite to the interests of France." The same paper adds—" The events in Greece have forced the officers of the Staff, whom we kept in that country to com plete the general map of the kingdom, to abandon their labours. The Abistry being silent, several of these officers have come bale to 4:rance, paying the expense of their passage. On their return to Paris, they waited on Marshal Mace with the materials- which they had collected. The Minister declared to them they must themselves bear their travelling and other expenses ; and to add to the injustice of this act, he has signified to them that they are put on half-pay. The whole Committee of War has protested, but the Marshal remains in flexible. —Messager, July 23. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARts, JULY 22. Five per Cents., 1. 81. 73c. 65c. 55c.

Should the whole of the returns give a majority in his favour, it is said that IsTußiz will have recourse to another dis solution. The QUEEN REGENT continues at La Granja Letters from St. Sebastian to the 18th inst. state that General EVANS is preparing to make another attack upon Fontarabia. He is greatly ashamed, and, _ . our opinion, not without cause, of his recent disaster, Admiral REBEIRA has resigned, in consequence of a misunderstanding between himself and Commodore ENRY. The Spanish Government had written letters to General EVANS, which were received by him on the 17th, assuring him that every thing would be done to satisfy the wishes of the Legion. The English lost,*in killed and wounded, one hun dred and twenty-nine men, before Fontarabia. Eleven men who fell into the hands of the Carlists were carried to Irun, and there publicly shot, by command of the Carlist authorities. Brussels and German papers have been received. On Friday last two persons, a young man and his mistress, both under twenty-four years of age, com mitted suicide by shooting themselves in the same room, in a tavern in that city. They had arrived there about a fortnight before from Paris, and repeat edly talked of dying together. The catastrophe was hastened by the arrival of a young woman from Paris, who had followed the young man, having formerly lived with him as his mistress. Letters from Leghorn of the 11th, state that the PRINCE and PRINCESS of CAPUA had been refused leave to land on any part of the Italian coast. His Highness was therefore obliged to return to Marseilles. The POPE has given notice, that the office of Extraordinary Commissioner at Bologna will shortly cease. Until the appointment of the Cardinal Legate, the Government of the Province will be entrusted to four Bishops, as Pro-Legates. BELGIAN FUNDS, Baussims, JULY 22. Actual Debt, 214 per Cent.

Our correspondent at Portsmouth has forwarded to us a file of New York Papers to the 2d inst. inclusive. Their contents are not important, with the exception of some reports from Texas, which we subjoin. The Indian war in Florida has recommenced, owing, as is reported, to the treachery of the Whites : " TEXAS.— The Mexican 'Government, not discouraged by the ill success of their renowned champion in arms, are pre paring for another vigorous campaign. In that event, Santa Anna will be shot, and the whole Mexican army put to the sword, and in all prob a bility t h e w h o l e empire become in a state of vassalage to Texas. Thousands of volunteers will give battle to the Mexicans in Texas, if they do not appear at the gates of the great city of Mexico itself." A later account : " TEXAS.—The New Orleans Bee, of 14th inst., says : By the arrival yesterday, we are informed that an armistice had been agreed on by the Mexicans and Texians ; and that the army, under General Filosola, were to evacuate Texas, and encamp at Monterey or Saltillo, to wait the action of the Mexican Congress on the propositions of Santa Anna. The latter is still imprisoned at Velasco." The latest :--- " A letter has been received from New Orleans, stating that a Commissioner had just arrived there from the city of Mexico, with full powers to arrange all questions with the Texian Government, and recognise the Del Norte as the boundary." The Lynch-law is represented as being in a flou rishing state in Georgia. The Rev. AARON W. KITCHELL, an itinerant clergyman of unblemished life and character, lately underwent this brutal punish ment, at the instance of a Committee of white savages, calling themselves citizens of Hillsborough. Hells borough would be a more proper name for the abode of such monsters. The following is the " Citizens' I" report of this affair : The Committee to whom was referred the case of the Rev. A. W. Kitchell, report :—That upon examination, they find sundry certificates and other papers of a suspicious and spurious character, and have thought proper to retain the same in the hands of the Secretary until further information be obtained concerning them. The Committee would advise that the said Kitchell should be rode round the villaze on a rail, with a band of all lc'nds of music, playing the " Rogue's March !". that his head should he tarred and feathered, and again rode round the village as before ! that he should also leave this State within ten days from this time, under the penalty of Lynch's law. A further Committee was appointed, informally, I under stand, to carry out the recommendation adopted by the meeting. Poor Kitchen was accordingly stripped, his head shaved, and a covering of tar and feathers substituted, and he was carried about the town to the music of the Calithumpian band. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE. In the past week the arrivals of all kinds of Grain, and also of Flour, were moderate, and the trade throughout the week was firm for every article, and Wheat was evidently dearer. This morning there has been a better fresh supply of Wheat than for some weeks past, and the millers being in want, they were obliged to give 2s. advance on the terms of last Monday for the best parcels, but the weather being fine, the trade was not brisk. Barley is more plentiful than of late, and sells at last quotations. Beans are unaltered. New white Peas, very fine, have sold at 385., and new Clay Peas at 335. to 345. The Oat trade remains firm at the terms of this day se'nnight. There has been no alteration in the value of Flour since last Monday. .'heat, Red (o!d) - White -Red 18.3.5 Fine - Superti .e -Wh to (1835) -- Fine - Superfine Foreign free Rye Barley - Grinding - Making Malt - Fine New,.

" WASHINGTON, JUNE 30.—1 received a letter at about one o'clock this morning, from Orange Court House, giving me the painful information of the death of the enlightened Statesman, James Madison." We have received Singapore Papers to the 18th of March, and Launceston to the 4th of March. The Singapore Papers have the following : " By the Katherine, arrived here on the 13th inst., from Batavia, we hare received files of Java Courants from the 9th of January to the 10th of February. A Government sale of 10,000 peculs of banca tin was to be held on the 13th of Feb. The river at Samarang had risen so high in January last, that the Government warehouses were under water—a circumstance never before known, and the communication about the town was kept up by boats. Two iron steamers, built by the Ne therlands Government for the service of the East Indies, were shortly expected from Holland. Private letters from Batavia of the 10th ult. state, that produce was generally scarce. The Van Diemen's Land Papers are void of interest. They state, that the Lieutenant-Governor was about leaving Allen vale, to take up his residence at the Government Cottage ; and that the rainy weather has given the farmers some incon venience, but no great injury has been done to the crops. Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and one Dutch mail ; ship letters from Valparaiso, Singapore, New York, and Van Diemen's Land. THE FUNDY.

The vast estates of his brother, the present Duke of Athol, wholt is said has been for a long period labouring 'under mental aberration, have been placed in the hands of trustees. THE PERSIAN PRINCES.—Their names are Reza Koolee Meerza, Nejeff Koolee Meerza, and Timoo r M eerza. They are grandson s o f th e l ate Futeh Allee Shah, and chil dren of Hoossein Allee Meerza, late Prince-Governor of the province of Fars, who was the fourth or fifth son of, that monarch. Thus they are first cousins of Mahomed Shah, who at present occupies the throne, and who is the son of Abbas Meerza, late Prince-Royal of Persia. On the death of Futeh Allee Shah, their father, Hoossein Allee Meerza, conceiving• his own title to the throne to be as good as that of his nephew, made an attempt to secure it for himself but being beaten, and driven back to Shiraz, he was made pri soner there with several of his family, while the three Princes now in question, together with three more of their brothers, cut their way from the gates of that city, escaping to the mountains, and after a variety of hardships reached the sane. tuary of Meshed Alice, or Nejeff, near Bagdad. From thence they have come to implore the assistance and friendly intervention of the English Government with their cousin,_ the Shah, i n p rocur i ng f or them pardon, and a restitution of part of their private property. In the meantime they arc the guests of the English Government, and are attended on the part of Government by Mr. J. Baillie Fraser, who has himself but lately returned from Persia, and who generally accom panies them in society. They rather avoid publicity, and being made " lions" of, and prefer the inspection of public institutions, military reviews, or arsenals, to balls, concerts, or operas. Wednesday they visited the Bethlehem Hospital, St. George's-fields, and are to look at some of the principal prisons of the metropolis. Their stay in England will pro bably be but short. The Earl of Meath, Lady George Stewart and Family, Capt. and Mrs. Townsend, Col. Mercer, Mr. St. John Mildmay, Sir A. Clifford, Lady Dunstanville, &c., were among the fashionables who left town on Sunday for Antwerp in the General Steam Navigation Company's much admired steam-packet, the Soho. Judging from the present state of the streets, we should be led to suppose that scavengers, aking advahtage of the late fine weather, had, in common with their betters, left town for the season. A country magistrate, appointed by Our Reforming Ministry, being asked what was meant by a minor canon, an swered, " I suppose it means—a pistol or a gun." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE itivEn.--Yester day afternoon, about four o'clock, as some young men were bathing in the river opposite Goding's new brewery, Lambeth, a short distance from Waterloo-bridge, one of them of the name of Murphy, got into one of the numerous holes with which this part abounds in consequence of the working of the ballast engines, and not being able to swim, was drowned be fore any assistance could be procured. Drags were immeli ately brought, but the body was not found after some hours' unavailing search. The deceased was about nineteen years of age, and was in company with a brother at the time the acci dent happened. At low water, from the above circumstance, there is always considerable danger to inexperienced bathers, and, from the numerous losses of life which occur, some cau tions should be affixed to warn persons of the danger. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 30.—We are in the same state of uncertainty as for six weeks past. The Reis Effendi is dismissed, and Lord Ponsonby has received satis faction as far as the Porte allows. But his Lordship seems to wait for his instructions from London, and then either to leave Constantinople, or to resume direct friendly intercourse with the Turkish Ministry. This is strange, and would almost tempt us to believe that Lord Ponsonby would rather have re ceived no satisfaction, and that he wished for a breach with the Porte on any terms, since, if these were such frierally feel ing in London towards the Porte as is alleged, is diplomatic agent certainly cannot be reproached for yielding as soon as ha knows the honour of the English nation is satisfied, and, as in this case, with manifest regret for the fault committed. But Lord Ponsonby seems not to understand this, and though he no longer speaks with disapprobation of the Sultan, he considers the Hatti Scheriffdismissing the Reis Effendi as not concerning him. It may be easily conceived that under such circumstances the Porte feels it necessary to be on its guard, and while the inten tions of the English Ambassador and his Government are doubt ful, to be prepared against any unlooked-for event Four regi ments of infantry are gone to the Castle of the Dardanelles, and two companies of artillery will be embarked to-day. Tisus preparations are making against an attack on the part of 'Eng land. A courier too has been sent to St. Petersburgh, to learn whether the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh should be in clined to assist the Porte, and whether, in case the accounts from London should be such as to require fr-ern the Porte more than it has already done, and therefore sin amicable arrange ment should be doubtful, Russia would consider the moment come when the casus Adores was realised. It must be ob served that before the dismissal of the Reis Effendi a similar question vim put to General Butinieff, who said that none would he permitted to disturb the peace of Europe, without stiftloient reason, and that the Porte having to repair a wrong, would do well to repair it at once. But as satisfaction has now been given to Lord Ponsonby, the question is, whe ther the Po r t e may not d epend on the support o f Russia, and whether the other Continental Powers will not take its part, if more should be required in London, than it thinks that it can concede, with honour. The answer from St. Petersburg will, therefore, be of great im portance, and the couriers from that city and London are eagerly expected. The last great meeting of the Divan on the 22d, after which Haiii Pacha was sent to Varna, was chiefly for the purpose of considering, first, whether the Porte, without compromising its di gn i ty , m i ght put an end to Lord PonsoutlY , s displeasure, and renew its friendly relations with the English Government ; 2dly, if this should be impossible, to adopt the best means to repel hostilities if they should take pl ace and, thirdly, to take some steps that the Porte might not be obliged to contend alone against the supreme power of England. How these questions were decided I cannot say but from the sending of Halil Pacha to Varna, and of cour riers to St. Petersburg, it might be inferred that Lord Pon sonby will not obtain by amicable means more than he W ass elf required, namely, the dismissal of the Reis Effendi, It is, therefore, supposed that he will be satisfied, and not expose himself to the censures of all Europe, who desire peace, and would hardly pardon the English Government if, notwithstand ing the repentant and almost honourable conduct of the Porte, it should seek to bring about a breach with it, Is, 392 r ---
